The pollutant PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) can affect the thickness of pelican eggshells. Thinking of the thickness, T, of the

eggshells, in mm, as a function of the concentration, P, of PCBs in ppm (parts per mil- lion), we have T = ???? (P). Explain the meaning of ????(200) in terms of thickness of pelican eggs and con- centration of PCBs.

Answer:

The expression f(200) depicts the value of the concentration of the pollutant, which when substituted in the expression T = f(P) will give the value of the thickness of the pelican eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that T = f(P)

Where T = thickness of the eggs

P = concentration in ppm ((parts per million))

Considering f(200) comparing to f(P)

The expression f(200) depicts the value of the concentration of the pollutant, which when substiuted in the expression T = f(P) will give the value of the thickness of the pelican eggs.

i.e substituted the value of the concentration in ppm to get the thickness of the pelican eggs in mm. since the expression shows thickness of pelican eggs as a function of the concentration. for every 200ppm of concentration, the numerical value of the thickness of pelican eggs can be gotten.

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) > 5x + 2?
bonufazy [111]

We have to simplify and get the value of x from this inequality given:

Given inequality,

3(x - 4) > 5x + 2

Now let's simplify by using distributive property,

3x - 12 > 5x + 2

We need to find x, so let's isolate x to the letter side of the inequality for calculation at ease.

3x - 12 - 5x  - 2 > 0

- 2x - 14 > 0

Now, dividing -2 from both sides.

Note : As we are dividing a negative number from both sides, the sign of the inequality will be <u>reversed</u>.

\dfrac{ - 2x - 14}{ - 2}  >  \dfrac{0}{ - 2}

x + 7 < 0

Now subtracting -7 from both sides,

x + 7 - 7 < 0 - 7

x <  - 7

Or, Interval of the equal (- \infin, -7 ]

Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.


A geometric sequence can be written as:

a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5


Substituting the numbers, we have:

a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

or else

f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}


This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).


In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4

f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.

Reflect the shape A in the line x=1<br> What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?
mestny [16]

Answer:

(0,4) (0,7) (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x=1 is a vertical line that passes through the point (1,0). So we then place the new triangle at equal distance from the line.

I hope this helps!

The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. Find the length and width (in ft) of a room that meas
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: the actual length and width of the room is 24ft by 36ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. This means that every 1 inch on the on the architectural plan represents 4 feet on the actual building.

Therefore, if the length of the room as measured on the drawing is 6 inches, the actual length of the room will be

6 × 4 = 24 feet

Also, if the width of the room as measured on the drawing is 9 inches, the actual width of the room will be

9 × 4 = 36 feet
